DP World has launched an end-to-end cargo war risk insurance solution for companies moving goods in or through the Middle East.
The program provides connected coverage across the supply chain, including ocean and air transport, port storage, and inland delivery. It is designed to close gaps in conventional cargo insurance, which often covers only one stage of a shipment or excludes war-related risks.
According to DP World, the solution covers physical loss or damage caused by war-related events, including conflict, civil unrest, seizure, and derelict weapons. Valid claims are settled with zero deductible.
Yuvraj Narayan, Group CEO of DP World, said the program responds to disruption across Middle East trade routes and gives cargo owners access to a single policy for goods moving through high-risk environments.
The insurance is available to companies trading in or through the Middle East. It is intended to support supply chain continuity across the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea, and surrounding inland routes.
Coverage options include end-to-end protection from ocean or air transit through inland delivery, as well as standalone ocean, air, or land transit policies. Automatic port storage cover is included for up to 14 days.
The program offers high coverage limits, including up to $400 million per shipment and up to $1 million per inland movement. DP World said the structure gives cargo owners flexibility as routes and operating conditions change.
In an example provided by DP World, cargo shipped from Asia to Jebel Ali, stored at port for several days, and then moved by truck to an inland destination would be covered under one policy from entry into the war risk zone through final delivery.
The launch builds on DP World’s integrated logistics capabilities and relationships across global insurance markets, combining operational expertise with financial risk solutions for customers using complex trade corridors.
